After hitting the pause button on sessions for their next record to focus on their 2013 summer tour, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are back at work in the studio.

In fact, as Petty recently told Rolling Stone, “We’re nearly done with it.” At the start of the tour, Petty believed the new LP would pick up where 2010′s ‘Mojo’ left off; he now says the songs have led the band — working with co-producer Ryan Ulyate — in a different direction.
